Creating Version Info

Shlaklava:
When compiling my project in other IDEs such as Bloodshed DevC++ I was able to attach version info to the executable description. Is there any way to do that in Code::Blocks?

Sure. You only need to the version info part to your RC file (assuming you already have one, for icons or similar). If not: Create a new RC file and add the part. C::B will compile and link it for you if you just add the RC file to your project. There is VersionInfo plugin for C::B that might help you to fill the resource content automatically... but I never tried that -> but it sounds interesting though...
With regards, Morten.

Shlaklava:
Thank you very much. Now it will be much easier to my Beta Testers what version they have.

The autoversioning plugin that I did may help you with that, it generate a version.h with various variable declarations and two defines to use on rc files. I haven't tested it with rc files but it should be something like this:


--- Code: ---#include "version.h" //File generated by the plugin with the
//AutoVersion::RC_FILEVERSION and
//AutoVersion::RC_FILEVERSION_STRING
//defines.

aaaa ICON "app.ico"


1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION AutoVersion::RC_FILEVERSION
PRODUCTVERSION AutoVersion::RC_FILEVERSION

FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL
#ifdef _DEBUG
  FILEFLAGS 0x1L
#else
  FILEFLAGS 0x0L
#endif

FILEOS 0x4L
FILETYPE 0x1L    // 0x1L = EXE, 0x2L = DLL
FILESUBTYPE 0x0L

BEGIN
   BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
   BEGIN

      BLOCK "040904e4"
      BEGIN
         VALUE "CompanyName", "My Company"
         VALUE "LegalCopyright", "(c) 2007 My Copyrights"
         VALUE "FileDescription", "Blah"
         VALUE "FileVersion", AutoVersion::RC_FILEVERSION_STRING
         VALUE "InternalName", "AppName"
         VALUE "OriginalFilename", "app.exe"
         VALUE "ProductName", "Appname blahh"
         VALUE "ProductVersion", AutoVersion::RC_FILEVERSION_STRING
         VALUE "Comments", "This is a beta app"
      END
   END

   BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
   BEGIN
      VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1252
   END

END

--- End code ---

If you want to test it follow the links on my signature for mor info on the forum and downloads. I have created also a berlios account for it. If something goes wrong or goes fine I will appreciate if you report it :D. I think that the plugin should also generate an rc file under windows, that should be a feature maybe. :roll:
